Many thanks to @Luke for the hint: Windows API functions to store credentials to and read them from Windows Vault are <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa375187%28v=vs.85%29.aspx" rel="noreferrer"><code>CredWrite()</code></a> and <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa374804%28v=vs.85%29.aspx" rel="noreferrer"><code>CredRead()</code></a>. Here is a code sample that may be compiled and run, that I used to confirm that these functions indeed do the expected thing: <pre><code>#include <windows.h> #include <wincred.h> #include <tchar.h> #pragma hdrstop void main () { { //--- SAVE char* password = "brillant"; DWORD cbCreds = 1 + strlen(password); CREDENTIALW cred = {0}; cred.Type = CRED_TYPE_GENERIC; cred.TargetName = L"FOO/account"; cred.CredentialBlobSize = cbCreds; cred.CredentialBlob = (LPBYTE) password; cred.Persist = CRED_PERSIST_LOCAL_MACHINE; cred.UserName = L"paula"; BOOL ok = ::CredWriteW (&cred, 0); wprintf (L"CredWrite() - errno %d\n", ok ? 0 : ::GetLastError()); if (!ok) exit(1); } { //--- RETRIEVE PCREDENTIALW pcred; BOOL ok = ::CredReadW (L"FOO/account", CRED_TYPE_GENERIC, 0, &pcred); wprintf (L"CredRead() - errno %d\n", ok ? 0 : ::GetLastError()); if (!ok) exit(1); wprintf (L"Read username = '%s', password='%S' (%d bytes)\n", pcred->UserName, (char*)pcred->CredentialBlob, pcred->CredentialBlobSize); // must free memory allocated by CredRead()! ::CredFree (pcred); } } </code></pre> A generic credential is stored in Windows Vault, as can be seen on the screenshot: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/udgcl.png" alt="A generic credential stored in Windows Vault">

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
